What’s This TV Show About?
Airing on the NBC television network, Weakest Link pits contestants against one another while also forcing them to work together in a trivia contest. This new version is hosted by Jane Lynch. In each episode, eight contestants enter the studio as total strangers but must work together to bank the maximum amount of prize money available in each round. At the end of each round, contestants vote to eliminate the fellow contestant they consider to be the “Weakest Link” in the chain. The contestant who receives the highest number of votes leaves the game as the host utters the iconic phrase, “You are the Weakest Link. Goodbye.” By the end of the episode, a single player can win up to $1,000,000.

Telly’s Take
Will NBC cancel or renew Weakest Link for season two? This series had a successful run on NBC and in syndication and is relatively inexpensive to produce. The first episode did very well, thanks to the Presidential debate. I suspect that Weakest Link will be renewed. I’ll update this page with breaking developments.

What do you think? Are you glad the Weakest Link TV show has been renewed for a second season? How would you feel if NBC had cancelled this TV series, instead?
Weakest Link is by far the best show on tv. Please let it return.
It was awfully hard to find what day channel and time the show is on because it kept changing I’m sure the ratings would have been better if people knew the time and day of the show each night I had to surf channels to find it
I enjoyed the Weakest Link I really hope they renew for season 2
Was starting to loose interest in the program due to the fact that the strongest link always gets voted out in second to last round. I think the strongest link for each round should have immunity.
Love Jane
